BEING THE MALE FRIEND IN 2020—a thread on the relationship between women and their male friends.

It& #39;s 2020, 8am and apparently I only do threads now, so without much ado, let& #39;s delve straight into this thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

Remember in my previous thread (link below), we came to the conclusion that men are useless bigots whose only salvation lies in becoming women? Well, apparently we are how somehow useful for... friendships. (Yes I know! My mind is blown too!) https://twitter.com/IcanKudivo/status/1293142974256295936?s=19">https://twitter.com/IcanKudiv...

By now, it& #39;s common knowledge that all human interactions depend on a give and take system. All you need to do is look closely, and you& #39;ll definitely find the quid pro quo in anything.

There is one exception tho, the taboo, the forbidden: men being friends with women.

What do I mean? Well, allow me to elaborate what being friends with a female as a man truly means.

The first thing you must understand is that you& #39;re only their friend because you serve a purpose, a need or want in their lives BUT this isn& #39;t necessarily reciprocated by them.

Yes, this is a one way street where the road was designed for women only.

You& #39;re the low maintenance (I& #39;ll get to that soon) investment with big returns.

A female friend can call you out of the blue and ask for a favour, and most of the time you& #39;ll provide.
But ask yourself...

this, can you do same if roles were reversed?

Once you begin to demand, the relationship strains, the calls become less frequent until you no longer hear from your "friend again".

Let& #39;s talk about male demands, in the society we live in, male demands from a friendship...

with women have been reduced to sexual intercourse.

It& #39;s the unwritten rule, "Oh he& #39;s only being nice because he wants to have sex with you". Men are seen as animals incapable of controlling their sexual urges and drive, while women hold the prize of giving out sex.

Do not get me wrong, it& #39;s not unnatural for there to be an attraction, sometimes even sexual between two humans who have a relationship that makes them spend time with each other, however relegating this phenomenon to one gender is the type of absurdity we& #39;re getting used to.

The aforementioned factors mean that unconsciously men cannot be expressive or demanding of female friends, as any sort of assertion can be easily misinterpreted.

You will help her with her assignments, you& #39;ll go overboard for her birthday, buy her lunch, comfort...

...her when she& #39;s an emotional wreck, send her airtime and a whole lot more but you& #39;re only to expect an "Eih you& #39;ve dawged me o" in return and possibly your picture being posted on your birthday. This imbalance is okay, it& #39;s seen to be good in today& #39;s society.

You& #39;re the low maintenance gender, you cannot demand much but you must produce the most.

You& #39;re the vile, corrupt bigots who must also be fathers, protectors and providers.

You& #39;re a male friend and you& #39;re probably only in for the sex.

Thank you for your time.

P.S: There are probably going to be a lot of quotes going: "Y& #39;all need better female friends"

To those people, I say boohoo, be original, you don& #39;t have to announce to the world that you& #39;re an exception to the rule (you& #39;re probably not).
